Whoever said extended battery packs are only for high-end smartphones?

Looking at my Google Analytics account's list of mobile devices most frequently used by readers to visit TechPinas from May to June 2012, I'm convinced that Samsung Galaxy Y was indeed one of the best-selling handsets in the Philippines last year. Currently, it ranks number 6 in our list with Apple's iPad and iPhone leading the pack.

So I'm sure a lot of you - especially the young ones and entry-level users whom Samsung made SGY for - would be glad to know that popular HongKong-based extended battery pack maker, Mugen Power, has just released a monster 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery for the handset. According to the company, this should more than double your phone's current uptime!

Short battery life remains to be one of the main points for improvement for many Android handsets regardless of price category. By replacing the stock 1200 mAh Li-Ion battery of SGY with Mugen's, you can enjoy more time on your phone browsing the net, listening to music, reading status updates from your friends and posting your own on Facebook and Twitter, and playing mobile games, among many others. One downside though is that it will make your phone a lot thicker but I guess that's but a small compromise in exchange for greater productivity with the device.

You can buy Mugen Power's 3000 mAh Li-Ion Samsung Galaxy Y Extended Battery pack with Free Back Cover for $57.95 straight from the company's website using Paypal or credit card. They usually ship packages via Air Mail, which then arrive a week or two after online purchase has been made.
